Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Woodyanders The residents in the tiny remote community of Eden Island find themselves in great jeopardy after a bunch of lethal scientifically enhanced snakes escape from a nearby lab research facility. Director Bill Corcoran, working from a rather trite script by Brian Katkin, relates the familiar and predictable, yet still enjoyable story at a snappy enough pace, draws the main characters with real depth, and delivers plenty of pretty graphic (albeit fairly tacky) gore, but alas fails to generate much in the way of initial suspense and gets bogged down a bit too much in tiresome small town melodrama. Worse yet, the cruddy and unconvincing CGI snakes prove to be utterly laughable instead of scary and threatening. Fortunately, this movie improves as it goes along, with an especially tense and exciting last third complete with some rousing and well staged set pieces. Moreover, the competent acting by the capable cast keeps this picture on track: Tara Reid as the feisty Nicky Swift, Jonathan Scarfe as likable and resourceful ex-Marine Cal Taylor, Stephen E. Miller as the amiable Hank Brownie, Corbin Bernsen as nefarious and duplicitous corporate bigwig Burton, Don S. Davis as the genial Dr. Silverton, and Mark Humphrey as the no-nonsense Sheriff Hendricks. However, Genevieve Buechner seriously grates on the nerves as whiny teenage brat Maggie and Mercedes McNab is wasted in a nothing minor role. Both Thomas Burstyn's crisp cinematography and Lawrence Shragge's lively rattling score are up to par. An acceptable time-waster.

TheLittleSongbird Vipers was yet another movie that I watched with little else to do, and while I wasn't expecting much other than a cheesy but entertaining movie I wasn't anticipating it to be this bad. The sheer awfulness and artificiality of the special effects were in all honesty scarier than the snakes, who were the anti-thesis of menacing and poorly utilised, and the entire movie even. The editing is choppy at best and the lighting gives the film an overly-drab look. The actors I have seen before, and they are mostly acceptable to good, but here they don't have much to work with(a couple especially even disappear without a trace) and their acting suffers consequently, coming across as bland. Thw script, story and the characters were the biggest let-downs. The script is terrible, very cheesy, stilted and aimless, and the story complete with a lack of suspense, clichéd sub-plots, predictable death scenes and dull pacing left me completely disengaged. Overall, ridiculously awful. 1/10 Bethany Cox

peaches_89-1 That was quite easily the worst movie I have ever seen. You can forgive poor visuals but not the story line, facts and acting. It is one of those films that those involved must question why they made the film in the 1st place. This film could only have passed as respectable if a small town made the film to promote itself. Its unfortunate someone like Don Davis (may he rest in peace) put his name to the film. Its a train wreck that probably has to be seen to be believed. Snakes that could chew human flesh, hunt in packs, eat all the fish in the water and leave almost no human remains is bordering on ridiculous. At some stages they flew at their victims and attacked necks like they were a predator. The scenes where they attract the snakes with flame throwers in the middle of the night so the dozens of survivors could run to the boat sums up the film. Forget the snakes inability to stay warm enough and active enough at night, not to mention the snakes just happen to ignore the vibrations in the ground made by all those running people. It makes "Snakes on a plane" look decent and "Anaconda" look like like a multiple award winner and thats not easy to do. Save your money and if you have to spend it, give it to a good charity.

André de Lorde What should one expect from the Maneater Series' latest "nature gone amok" feature, Vipers? Other than a bunch of flesh-eating snakes, not very much... but that's okay, because this flick certainly isn't trying to deliver anything but over-the-top serpentine carnage.Corben Bernsen and his cronies at Universal BioTech are attempting to cure breast cancer with genetically-altered Horned Vipers (which, as we all know by now, makes perfect sense) when a batch of them escape and head over to the picturesque Oregon island village of Eden Cove. Things get ugly... and reeeally fast, but thanks to the dashing new doctor in town (Jonathan Scarfe), a cute-as-a-button botanist (Tara Reid), and the scientist responsible for the snakes' aggressive tendencies (Jessica Steen), these citizens might just have a chance at survival.If one is willing to throw logic out the window almost immediately, Vipers is actually fairly fun little romp. Sure, the snakes howl like dying vampires when they're killed and there appears to be only one person in the entire town of Eden Cove under the age of 20, but it's relatively easy to overlook these simple misgivings. Even the fact that the vipers actually EAT their victims ends up becoming hilariously entertaining, effectively transforming them from typical snakes to slithering piranhas.Keeping its forked tongue firmly in-cheek during one of Vipers' first scenes, a newlywed African American couple go to make love in their lakeside tent, only to be attacked by the titular critters. Of course, their racial identity calls for them to be the first to go, and the script (attributed to Scarecrow Gone Wild's Brian Katkin) allows them to note that it's "gonna be hard to go back to da city" - since it's painfully obvious that no minorities whatsoever live in Eden Cove.The direction by Bill Corcoran (who is currently helming the Sci-Fi Original, Rise of the Gargoyle) is across the board, with several of Vipers' action sequences staged very well – albeit a tad dark – and most of its dialogue barely sufferable. When little Maggie's parents are presumably killed, she sobs to Reid's Nicky about what it's like to lose someone important. Watching Ms. Reid then almost instantly break down as she describes losing her fiancé to war is amusingly groan-inducing, especially in the midst of an all-out shrieking snake attack.Thankfully, the practical gore effects are quite good, with literal geysers of the red stuff spraying out of anyone foolish enough to get within striking distance of the vipers. Unfortunately, the snakes themselves are comprised entirely of the lowest of low-rent CG effects. Whether they're squirming unbelievably down a gravel road or flailing almost vertically while chowing down on someone, they never once, over the course of the entire film, give the impression that they're actually "there".Early on, a gun-toting dude is asked if it's hunting season. His response? "Almost." (cue ominous music) Reid later howls, "Homeland Security?! This isn't terrorism, these are snakes!!!" and, near the film's finale, our stunning doctor arms himself with a flamethrower that he names "the mongoose" (get it?!). If ever there was a hungry screaming snakes movie starring Tara Reid that you should not take seriously, this is most certainly the one… and Vipers makes no pretenses at being anything but what it is.At its core, Vipers is basically a Sci-Fi Channel Movie-of-the-Week with higher production values and similarly shoddy computer-generated beasties. It's got some tasty gore, just enough sex to keep the hard-pressed titillated, and some beautiful locations. Sure, it's far from theatrical-caliber film-making, but if you're looking for 90 minutes of dumb, slithering fun, this disc might just shock your skin off.
